The parlance of design and décor can be tricky waters to navigate
indeed, especially when it comes to the myriad of design styles
out there. Although there are certain elements that are distinct to certain
design styles, in reality most designers blend together different elements from
different decorating styles in order to achieve a more modern take.
However, it is crucial that you be able to identify the core
elements and aspects of each design style. We’ve listed a number of design
styles that are currently in vogue. So, read on to get an in-depth view on what
characterizes each design style.
Many an iconic piece in modern design has come from the mid-1900s,
which was the era in which modern design flourished. Modern design style is
characterized by refined lines, minimalist silhouettes and organic shapes. The
masters of mid-century design have defined creative and interesting ways to
incorporate new materials, such as molded plastic, plywood and metals, into
industrial design. Mid-century modern pieces are high versatile and can blend
and complement a whole range of different design styles.
2. Industrial
Industrial design harkens back to the industrial era. Anything
industrial, as you can name it, goes for this design style. Exposed metals and
distressed wood elements are used liberally, often accompanied by exposed brick
walls. More modern advocates of this style tend to prefer more copper-tone
accents to bring out more earthiness and rusticness. Furniture pieces are
characterized by utility, which can vary from clean lines to elaborate
ornamentation.
3. Scandinavian
Scandinavian style is an off-shoot of the mid-century modern movement in design. One
of the, if not the most, distinctive associations of Scandinavian style is of
course, IKEA. However, this doesn’t mean that you need to shop there in order
to acquire distinctive Scandinavian-inspired pieces.
Scandinavian design style is characterized by the popular minimalist
look. This permeates both furniture as well as interior architecture. The look
features gentle contours, playful accents and a balance of both engineered and
organic materials. White and gray ones are the focus of the color palette, with
a touch of Bauhaus principles in the form of fluidic lines, great proportions
and populist appeal.
4. Bohemian
You’ve often heard of bohemian chic fashion. Bohemian décor is the
same, in that it captures the carefree and adventurous spirit of avant-garde
lifestyles. Think about the long flowing dresses of Gypsies, as well as their
red and purple tones. The key is to curate and edit your space to present a
purposefully messy look that maintains a warm and inviting ambience.
Characteristics of the bohemian style include creative mixing and
use of rich patterns and bright, vibrant colors. Furniture and décor pieces
with an ethnic or nomadic vibe are crucial. For example, Morrocan, African or
even Gypsy designs are trending at the moment. All this should be mixed with a
healthy dost of textile, wood, and organic accents.
5. Farmhouse
Farmhouse décor is the modern counterpart to traditional country
style. The overarching theme for farmhouse design style is transitional
elements mixed in with some traditional elements. A farmhouse aesthetic can
immediately transport your space to he French Provence.
Furniture pieces are characterized by distressed or exposed wood
surfaces as well as comfortable fabric treatments. Color palettes are kept in
the family of white and beige base colors with a mix of accent colors here and
here. Although the orthodox accent color choices are usually turquoise or
yellow, some bright fun and bold colors can also add pop and definition.
6. Urban modern
Urban modern interior design takes its cues from cosmopolitan
environments. It is a fusion of various traits that are both opposing yet still
complementary. Urban style encompasses a myriad of designs including minimalist
modern, glamorous chic, ethnic heirlooms and edgy experimenting which all
collide together in a distinctively 21-st century setting.
Elements in urban modern design include larger furniture that is
both uniformly sleek and low-profiled. Furniture styles keeps to a more modern
and trailblazing design and incorporate decorative accents that are
artistically and creatively expressive. For example, elegant geometric designs
and vintage pieces with embellishment are things that bode well in an urban
modern space.
7. Shabby chic
With a shabby chic design style, the key guiding idea is to recreate
the antique flea market look. Vintage elements in worn and organic materials
are emphasized in this design style. Shabby chic furniture is characterized by
their aged appearance. Materials such as distressed wood are covered in sanded
milk or white pain in order to bring out the fine details and signs of wear and
tear.
While the orthodox shabby chic color palette is usually white, ecru
and pastel, don’t be afraid to inject pops of bold color. Likewise, decorative
accents are usually softer and more opulent. This helps imbibe an affected
feel, which serves to bring in the overall style and look up to a more
contemporary standard. Linen textiles are great elements in shabby chic styles.

design styles that.
